As a former 1st Sgt in the Army and a Past Master of a Master of a Masonic lodge, you don't have the ability to response!!
OUTSTANDING RESPONSE SGT!! Years ago I had a Full Bull Colonel approach my desk and state, "Don't worry I don't have the papers with me, go ahead and issue the authorization please" The Colonel walked away after I told him, "Colonel, please don't confuse your rank with my authority". Two things i was never impressed with, rank and decorations.As a former 1st Sgt in the Army and a Past Master of a Master of a Masonic lodge, you don't have the ability to offend me.
